However,I have studied citizenship law a bit since I discovered,some years ago,that I'm entitled to Irish citizenship. It's my understanding that not all that long ago many civilized,advanced countries had an "automatic citizenship at birth" policy. However,one by one most of those civilized countries did away with it (including Ireland) and now the US and Canada are the only two left. Of course there are still a number of uncivilized countries that have it...but they don't count.
Well, how I’ve related it was how it was written and intended by those that wrote and discussed it at length.
Since the 70s, dems have chosen to ignore laws they don’t like or make up their own interpretation, sometimes disregarding much of the written parts of the law, as is the case here.
As for other countries, I believe the ‘automatic’ citizen conveys thru the citizenship of the parents, and which country can claim jurisdiction over them. If you’re saying that’s no longer the case, it’d be news to me. (Might be part of the progressive attacks on the concept of nations)
